Someone just flipped an SUV on Golf road in front of the building I work in - first time I got to see how the upright overturned vehicles (looks like a Lexus SUV, but I could be wrong).

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 07:00 PM) Clint Hurdle has already missed a couple games this season, with his daughter in the hospital. It sounds pretty serious, I hope she gets better. I know, I know I am late. It sounds like what Brian's friend's daughter went through. Hopefully they can get her seizures under control as the doctors have for Brian's friend's daughter.

"That's it for us monkeys." That's just awesomely funny! Yes it is!

[/vent] That is horses***. 6 f***ing years for killing his wife and baby?! What the f*** is wrong with Utah (I know, I know that's the law on the books - CHANGE THE DAMNED THING!!!)? I know that the chances of him ever being free aren't so good, but come the f*** on this is just ludicrous. [vent]

Good luck to him. If he doesn't hit 250K, maybe the Cubs can donate to make him hit 250K and then some!

I feel luck that it was about 6K a year when I went to UIC for my engineering degree. Yikes!

Happy bday!!!!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 09:51 AM) I know the death rates from some of the groups was near 100%, it was suicide for many of them. I was talking with Brian about that the other day. I have nothing but respect for those people. I just don't understand how they could knowing they were going to die, that takes alotta courage and determination.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 09:51 AM) Exactly. And how pregnant was she? The story doesn't say. Everybody knows - You HAVE to let them know what's going on. That being said, the last time I served - the guy incharge said the send out 1000 notices a week - expecting only 500 to respond and only 250 to show up. He said they rarely go after the no-shows. It depends on the mood of the judge. If they are actually on a panel they likely will and replace her with one of the alternates.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 09:46 AM) My great uncle, who passed recently, was on Normandy. Some very scary, but interesting stories about it. I can't imagine how terrifying it must have been. He said that the initial invasion was supposed to be the day earlier, but the weather prevented it. He also said a few people went ahead the day before, before it was cancelled (intelligence, front line types)--sounded like most didn't make it. Hats off to all of those who fought in that one. :uk Brian's uncle was there as well. My grandfather trained soldiers whereas his brothers were in action (as well as my gramma's brothers - one was shot down and was a POW for sometime - he died of cancer from the shrapnel that wasn't removed).

I am mixed on this. She should have sent the notice back with a doctor's note that she was pregnant instead of attending, getting on a panel and then not showing up. Did she call the court? When you are on a panel, they give you a phone number to contact the court in case of emergency.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jun 5, 2005 -> 05:32 PM) Nice rip by AJ, but right at 1B for the 3rd out. Let's trade him.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jun 5, 2005 -> 05:31 PM) Better than Kong, don't you think? No and Griffey seems to have injury issues.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jun 5, 2005 -> 05:30 PM) why in gods name would the reds take konerko? Better question, why in God's name would the Sox want Griffey?

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 5, 2005 -> 05:26 PM) I'll tell ya... screw trading Everett, screw trading Thomas -- find a taker for Konerko, move Everett to first, and let's go from there. No one is going to take Konerko. Who would? I love the guy, but let's face it, he's not lighting the world up in a contract year. If not now, when? I really think the Sox have to put up with him until the end of this year. He'll have a good day here and there, but I think that is the max the Sox are going to get out of him.

My parents said they changed over to 1690 AM for their oldies fix. I think what WJMK (JACK) did is akin to radio suicide, but to each their own.

QUOTE(sayitanitso @ Jun 4, 2005 -> 11:29 PM) Just 5 games. I would make it a minimum 10. He knocked over a umpire. Intentionly or not, he f***ed up. I agree that is should be more than just 5 games.

I didn't get to see the play - I just read it here lol.

Was that run earned or unearned? (just curious)

Happy bday!

LMAO!

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 11:08 AM) Still not quite as bad as the guy that stole a military tank and wrecked some massive havoc. The only reason they were able to stop him was because he got stuck on one of those wall dividers in the middle of a highway. I see it on Worlds Most Amazing Videos all the time... That was crazy - the tenth anniversary of that was recently - NBC5 had an article on that and the conversation with the officer who shot the guy.
